President's Letter
After a year has passed, it is an appropriate time to take stock in our efforts, and to look forward with a great desire for the success of our future. First, I want to praise all of you who have learned that being actively engaged in work has proven the greatest blessing during the past year. You have attended to your
duties assiduously, tried to be useful, instead of brooding too

are a better citizen than you have ever been before.
At the request of our beloved Dr. Jarman, we have carried on the work of the Alumnae Association in the usual manner, holding semi-annual meetings of the Executive Board in May and October and celebrating the Sixtieth Birthday of our College on Founders Day in March. The attendance and enthusiasm at these meetings encouraged your officers. Everyone seemed refreshed spiritually, enjoying the contact with the students, greeting old friends, admiring the beautiful surroundings. The hospitality shown visiting Alumnae at Farmville by members of the Faculty, Home Department and Student body, the interest and support of the Executive Board of which Dr. Jarman is such an active, interested member, the efficiency of our capable secretary, Mrs. Coyner, in the performance of her various duties, and the willingness of the Alumnae, at large, to co-operate have made the past year a very pleasant, happy one for your President. For the coming year, we want the continued support, that only you can give. We need you. The plan now, which has been so successful in other places is to ask Alumnae to make contributions instead of just paying dues. Because of the fact that only one-half of the usual sum was contributed last year, we were inclined to believe that you considered Founders Day the end of the Fiscal Year, and since the Bulletin, which is always a reminder, was late in being published, you did not consider that you had time to send your contribution. It is gladly received at the Alumnae Office any time during the year.
In your chapter work, do not forget that scholarship and special gifts are more important than ever in the teacher training program of Farmville State Teachers College. As a helpful, immediate service, please send a revised list of local Alumnae, with changed
names and Office.

At a meeting of the Nominating Committee, Monday, September 24, 1944, it was voted unanimously to draft for another term, if possible, the services of the two officers due to be elected this year, namely a president and a director. This action was submitted to the present officers and they have consented to serve another term.
